PPPoE connection software

[LuDaCriS66]

My ISP didn't send me any software to connect to the net.. which I didn't need anyway cuz I have a linksys router.. but I'm troubleshooting a problem and I wanna connect my dsl modem directly to my ethernet card.. will there be any problems if I try this? What I mean is, will it be as easy as just unplugging it from the router then to the computer, and vice versa... or will i have a hard time configuring software?

What software out there will allow me to login to my ISP? Is Raspppoe one?

What OS are you using?

WinXP Home

WinXP has internal support for PPPoE (New Connection -> to the internet -> set up manually -> connect using a broadband connection that requires a user name and a password). Raspppoe works, too, but shouldn't be necessary.
